The Governor of New York Kathy Hochul is seriously considering removing Big Apple -Mayor Eric Adams from his office and announces that she is calling a meeting to determine the fate of the controversial mayor.
The Governor is confronted with calls to dismiss Adams since the Trump Government asked Federal Public Prosecutors to drop his corruption case in what is called a 'Quid Pro quo'.
Many of the mayor's advisers were taken in the aftermath and on Monday Hochul said that she spoke with four deputy mayors who had announced their resignation earlier in the day.
“If they are currently feeling unsafe to serve in the town hall that raises serious questions about the future in the long term of this mayor administration,” she said.
The Governor continued to say that she acknowledges that she has the constitutional authority to dismiss Adams, but said: 'In the 235 years of the history of the state of New York, these powers were never used for a well -elected mayor to remove; The overthrow of the will of the voters is a serious step that should not be understood lightly.
“That said, the alleged behavior in the town hall is disturbing and cannot be ignored.”
She then announced that she asked 'important leaders' to meet her on Tuesday in her office in Manhattan to 'discuss the path ahead, with the aim of guaranteeing stability for the city of New York'.

“Let me be clear: my most urgent care is the well -being of my 8.3 million voters who live in New York City,” Hochul continued.
“I will keep a close eye on this situation to ensure that New Yorkers are not shortened by the current crisis in the city council,” she promised.
The announcement of Hochul only came a few hours after Adams announced that four deputy mayors resign in the midst of questions about the bands of the mayor with the Trump administration.
The best representatives were the first deputy mayor Maria Torres-Springer, deputy mayor for operations Meera Joshi, deputy mayor for health and human services Anne Williams-Isom and deputy mayor for public safety CHUNCEY PARKER.
Hochul said they have been every 'strong partners with my administration in dozens of important issues'.
This is a crushing new story and will be updated.
